Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas

[MickeyDavis]

I've always liked Adams but I don't think he's a fit and he's been injured a lot the past 2 years.

[Ron Swanson]

There's nothing in the CBA preventing you from trading for Durant. It's just unlikely and at this point, fair to question if it's worth paying $150+ million to your Top-3 guys when Dame is gonna likely be out all season.

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

It depends on the deal when they bring him back. If he's committed to playing more of a reserve 10-20 minutes per night role he'd be great. Even if its not our ideal style of play its still good to be able to play big when you need to.

i mean theoretically yes. but if thats who youve got it changes the entire dynamic of the rest of the roster too. put a crazy active switching rim protecting dunker in the center spot and then you can build the roster out in modern fashion.

its almost like you have to decide.....besides giannis whose like a joker card....what kind of roster do you build to play defense around lopez. what kind of offense do you play with a guy like sims.

youre literally building two different teams on each side of the ball for when hes on the court and when hes off. its not like oh just play drop when hes there and something else when hes not. its a completely different dynamic and style of play for the entire roster

If you build an athletic, competent roster they should have no problem playing multiple styles of defense. Its no different than switching between man and zone.

disagree. its nothing whatsoever like switching between man and zone

playing drop effectively needs the right people functioning like an orchestra. its by far the most complicated. you need high iq competent defenders across the lineup offering help and a high level of on ball defense in the pnr. and even then it can be played off the court. you dont just "go do it" like switching a few possessions into zone out of man from one possession to the next.

I think a healthy 28-30+ mpg Adams would be super fun next Giannis, you'd obviously need to have plenty of shooting at 1-3 but we'd just beat the **** out of teams every night with those 2 in the front court. Problem is he doesn't appear capable of playing anywhere near that minutes load without getting hurt constantly, which kinda kills it for me.

I'm firmly on team don't trade Giannis but just for fun if he asked out:

Bucks get: Durant, Sengun, Eason, #10, 2027 Brooklyn 1st round swap rights, 2029 Dal 1st round swap rights, 2031 Rockets 1st and a handful of 2nds
Suns get: Reed Sheppard, Pat C, Kuzma, their own picks back in 27 and 29
Rockets get: Giannis

Rockets get their guy, Suns get 2 of their picks back plus Sheppard.

Bucks get a haul of picks, two young players in Sengun and Eason, and since they don't control their own picks anyways you get Durant who can keep you competitive now. Maybe you get one last push with Durant and Dame in 26-27.

I think this works for everyone...

I don't think we have a competitive KD offer FWIW, but I did see a proposal where Dallas was getting him in a 3-team deal and all they gave up was Klay (bad salary), PJ Washington, Gafford, and the Lakers 2029 1st, so *shrugs*. As usual, I think people severely underrate good/great players just because they're "old".

I just don't want another over 35 guy who has an injury history. Seems like another YOLO just asking for another 1st round exit. Rather use that money/assets on 2 decent younger players.

Where's the "haul of picks"? Looks like one mid pick in a bad draft and a pick 6 years from now with some 2nds

I can't express this enough. This is **** Giannis we are talking about

Like why even entertain this trade? Grats we suck next year still but the best two players are on their last legs and/or comming off injury but woot we got 2 players that aren't gonna be staying long anyways and a mid pick in a weak draft and another pick over half a decade away

True, but if you use the MLE or BAE, you're hard capped, and there would be no one to get under that with Giannis, KD, and Dame.

Thats incredibly disrespectful

I know nba gms understand Giannis's value so im not worried in the event that we trade him. I know we will get a ton. But so many fans not understanding the value makes me think they dont deserve him

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

if you had to trade giannis for a win now squad how about.....

giannis, dame, patc..... for.... brown, white, porzingas, pritchard

try to convince horford to join up with all his boys
see if theyd trade mazzula for doc back

pritchard - kpj - rollins
white - ajgreen
brown - ajj
portis - kuzma
porzingas - horford - sims

who says no? thats like their top 5 guys on the roster besides tatum. probably they say no?

they come back for the playoffs behind giannis, dame, tatum, jrue, hauser, kornet and wtf ever else

we improve maybe?

If you'd rather have picks thats fine but Durant in this scenario is worth 2 first round picks.

Its the equivalent of trading Giannis for Sengun, Eason, and 6 firsts. They probably aren't getting more than that if they have to trade him.

As I said I'm firmly on team don't trade Giannis, in part because there's just no way to actually get fair value for him. He's too good.

Thanks for reinforcing how we should never trade Giannis if this is the kind of horrid return that is being considered "the best we'll get". Woof.

A Dame/KD pairing in the year 2025/6. End me.

You think he's realistically bringing back more than two young players and 6 reasonably good firsts?

This page needs to be deleted.

The trade ideas for Giannis on this page are so under his value it makes me wonder what teams all of you root for. It appears there are Rockets and Celtics fans on here who want the Bucks to hand them a championship. Brutal.

Are you actually reading the posts? I pretty clearly stated I wouldn't trade him because you won't get fair value. If you HAVE to trade him what are you reasonably getting back?

To be clear, this is not "6 first round picks". You're arbitrarily assigning two-good-firsts value to Durant (ok, just actually get those picks then instead. From where though?), and you have swaps that likely won't even convey (Dallas when Flagg will be 24? Brooklyn in 2-years when they've spent their cap space and have no incentive to tank?). There's just two outright first round picks here. Yeah, that's pretty bad. Sengun/Eason and #10 is more in line with a KD or Jaylen Brown trade. A Giannis trade isn't just adding a couple extra firsts/swaps to that. Big yikes.
